Applications for the Jump-9 Grant go live tomorrow. We have 250+ new writers signed up already to be notified. If you're having issues with the form let me know, for some reason Klaviyo built a landing page that does not work for most people!

These + these all went to my patrons for use in their projects. If you're looking for art in a project, please consider a "membership." As of now, my patreon income is about $200 short each month of our daycare costs. Commissions are spotty to come by. verging into tough times here.

I reviewed Chew the RPG and it was probably the most lavishly illustrated game I've ever come across. It also has some other features worth noting. Pete Petrusha and the team knocked it out of the park with this one. youtu.be/x2BgTX7o2vU?...
